Junkrat is absolutely awful at any rank above 3k, which I happen to sit at.
Like I'm not kidding that Junkrat will make literally every other in the game tilt because of how awful he is.
He also has the honor of being the ONLY hero in pro play with 0% playtime but that doesn't mean much obviously.
There's plenty of stats to back this up too, his playtime in Bronze is incredibly high but after that it plummets really hard, and the reason he's good in Bronze is mostly because people in that tier can't hold a mouse or a play with snes controllers.

Any side with Junkrat will lose unless the other team is terrible.
That hero is taking over the dumbo spot from Hanzo.
I would be interested to hear how many Pharahs start to show up about that rank though.
I do think Junkrat's primary fire could use fixing though. Either make it faster, or that it goes further.
On the topic of Orisa though, I doubted her at first, but she is really fun to play.

Too off topic but there's loads of Pharah and loads of Zarya, who Junkrat relentlessly feeds energy. Also note that the higher your rank goes the better the Widowmakers get which at some point means you're literally never getting an ult off.
On topic, Orisa feels better on offense than defense for me rn, she kind of just gets rolled when defending but you can dislodge people pretty effectively with RMB, and her ult allows for a strong push which helps taking first points on hybrid especially.
Map dependant of course.

I've had to eat crow because of Hanzo, hero is pretty fucking good if the player using him is skilled, arguably one of the hardest carries in the game in a MM environment imo.
Junkrat is awful because they see him as a barrier counter which he's not and that his ultimate is awful.

Name me a more useless ultimate than Junkrats? I would possibly say Roadhog but I still think that has more uses on a much more viable hero generally. What does Junkrat do exactly that no other hero can't do better? I would say the nearest hero that fulfills his role is mei and her ultimate can stop entire pushes without being countered by what I mentioned above.
Roadhog's ult is actually potent considering you get it quickly and it shreds through barriers like nothing, also comboes well with stuff and Roadhog has a fantastic kit that already lets him play on loads of teams so having a decent ult is fine.
Junkrat's is without a doubt the worst.
